Misty mountain riding with my friend Aaron on a Thursday. Perfect day for it with no one else around. Iphone 5 and VSCO cam seem to do a pretty good job.

Route 71
A little trip along route 71. Need to go back there when I have a whole day.
Iwate coast
I shot I forgot to upload from my Iwate trip. This time in colour. The coast of Japan is a fascinating place.
Barrington Tops
While in Australia for the Christmas break I took a little drive up around Barrington Tops. Managed to take a few little detours.
Mountains and Sea
Over the last few weeks I've managed to do a reasonable amount of riding. Several times to the mountains near where I live and also to Katsuura in Chiba.The Chiba ride was my second time but the first time to the route via the mountains. The first trip was extremely hot and ended up almost passed out on a set of pallets outside a warehouse in the shade 3/4 of the way to the destination. This 2nd attempt, while hot was a much more enjoyable experience. The mountains might have made for a more challenging ride but the cover the trees provided (and the breeze you got) was a welcome relief.
It's been raining every day here for the last few weeks which has made the mountains wet and misty. Perfect for a few pictures with atmosphere. All pictures shot with the iphone. Just way easier to carry and manage while on a bike and riding 150+km than a regular camera (provided the battery lasts!)
Izu Peninsula Part 4
Suruga bay
Suruga bay. A place I'd like to explore more of. Actually the whole Izu peninsula is pretty interesting from a visual point of view. I've not yet been to the mountains but did have to drive through some to get home. Even that journey looks like a great bike ride. More to be explored.
Izu Peninsula Part 3
Shimoda at 4am
Izu Peninsula Part 2
Sunrise at Shimoda
As usual, in the summer there are only two good times of the day. Very early morning and late afternoon. Everything in between is uninteresting. Shot at 4am.
Izu Peninsula Part 1
In June I took a short trip to Izu. Stayed over night in Shimoda. Went by car. It was only short, just two days in total but was great chance to investigate some of the south coast. I'll be going back for sure when the weather is a little cooler and atmospheric.
As an aside it looks like a brilliant place to ride a bike. I could be up for a riding trip around the coast as well.
Trip to Atami (熱海市)
A recent trip to Atami. I'll be going back for sure. Actually the trip along the coast looks more interesting than the destination.Once my bike is fixed (hit by a car 2 weeks ago) I should jump on a train in the morning and spend the day riding around the coast road to check locations.
